Our programs are designed with the specific needs of the athlete in mind. This training system can be taylored to any sport and even to specific positions. At Elite Strength and Conditioning we focus on efficiancy of training by coordinating the muscle actions of the training program to the specific muscle actions requred in the sport. The methods used have been developed over the last fifty years or so by my mentor, the famous strength and conditioning coach, Istvan Javorek. The training levels can range from first time users to olympic athletes. Even kids as young as eight years old can greatly benefit from this training system.
This training system is completely free weight. No machines of any kind. This has been proven the most effective method for functional use.
Benefits of freeweight training:
Using freeweights has many benefits including muscle stabalization, coordination and transfer of training performance to sport performance.
- Stabalization-Muscles have to control movement without any outside assistance. This increases the strength of the stabalizer muscles allowing for increased performance and less chance of injury.
- Coordination-Free weights allow one to perform maneuvers that any other machine would restrict. These maneuvers allow for hole body muscle action forcing the muscles to work together as one whole muscle.
- Transfer-the ability for training to produce results in performance of the respected sport. How force production relates to freeweight is the same as how it relates to sport.
Personal approach to training:
Train all muscles to coordinate as on single unit
Focus on specificity, muscle action in training mimics muscle action during sport.
Performance depends on hard work
